Is the "Earful Tower" returning as the DHS icon? See 2013 merchandise for clues

[SirLink]

Any links to the art with the ferris wheel in the ear?

if they remove the hat the Chinese theater has to go also it belongs to MGM

That was just a rumor

 

[DocMcHulk]

where was that supposed to be?

Outside the front of the park. My bad for forgetting it.

Hangs head in shame.

For shame, Martin! That would be a neat entrance to the park...

If I'm right, the hat would have been an"exhibit" space, separate to the park entrance, which would have been where it still is.

Ah. Still would be interesting...

And ironic should this be actually where it ends up!

Very true. I'll be interested to see what they do with DHS with all the rumoured and not rumoured coming changes to that park and if anything with the BAH plays into it or not.

That was just a rumor

I have never heard that rumor and it makes no sense anyway considering that MGM's park name lisence ended in 2008 but the hat was built in 2001 7 whole years before that. The point cannot be made enough that the hat was purely built to act as a marketing centerpiece for the 100 Years of Magic celebration and as with the Epcot Wand designed specifically for the Millenium, Disney decided to leave it after the celebration ended due to lack of demolition funds. That's all there is to it all the contracts/theater ownership conspiracy theories are just internet BS that apparently Disney has adopted as a PR talking point much like sinkholes.

 

[lazyboy97o]

Leave it to Disney to have already had the marketing logo designed.

 

[Mr Bill]

I'm not sure.... but it's one item I've not really researched for obvious reasons!

Does this mean we aren't getting an Ultimate Tribute to the BAH?

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Not quite.

Oh wow, the people featured on that "Make My Yard Disney" show that got a 10 foot Sorcerers Hat as part of their backyard makeover want to get rid of their hat. That's kinda sad.

i'd like it if Disney moved the entire earful tower (not easy) and loved it behind some of the building on Hollywood Boulevard
This would really bring the tower back into view for guests and work more as an icon, similar to Disney Studios in Paris

 

[Alien]

where was that supposed to be?

im gonna say about... hmm... outside the entrance gates... possibly where they set up the tree every christmas

There's a Rumor stating that the Earful Tower is going to be moved into "Disney Springs" once the renovation is over and, it will be Downtown Disneys "symbol".

That would be cool. I hope they put the little leafy one somewhere, too. It's so cute.
